  • Efferia subpilosa

    Efferia subpilosa is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, first described by Schäffer in 1916. The genus Efferia comprises medium to large-sized predatory flies distributed primarily in the New World, with many species occurring in arid and semi-arid regions of North and South America. Members of this genus are characterized by their robust build, prominent compound eyes, and predatory habits. Efferia subpilosa is one of numerous species within this diverse genus, though specific ecological and behavioral details remain poorly documented in the available literature.
